With two years of hands-on experience tutoring A-Level History, Geography, and Mathematics, I have consistently supported students who face challenges in these subjects through daily after-school sessions. As a top-performing A-Level student myself—achieving 3A*s and 3As across both STEM and Humanities—I bring a deep understanding of subject content and assessment standards.

My academic success has equipped me with a strong ability to analyze mark schemes and align student work with examiners’ expectations. I specialize in training students to write essays that meet A or A* standards by helping them think like a marker. I know the most effective and reliable strategies to maximize exam performance.

Beyond exam preparation, my lessons foster essential academic skills such as critical thinking, academic writing, and public speaking. I prioritise interactive teaching—encouraging students to verbalise their understanding, engage critically with materials, and explore ideas beyond the textbook. This approach not only prepares students for top A-Level results but also help them flourish in their future academic journey by nurturing their intellectual curiosity and independence required for long-term academic success.
